Italian Yellow Glazed Ceramic Space Age Sculptural Vase, 1970s

A striking sculptural vase made in Italy during the 1970s, characterised by a bold triangular profile, a circular cut-out and a vibrant glossy yellow finish. Its geometric construction and playful proportions make it a distinctive example of Italian Space Age design. This vase transforms a functional decorative object into a compact architectural sculpture. The body is shaped as an asymmetrical triangular structure, with a broad base rising toward an angled upper section. A large curved opening is carved into the front, creating a dramatic contrast between solid form and negative space. Near the top, a circular aperture provides the opening for flowers while becoming an integral part of the geometric composition. The vivid yellow surface reinforces the vase’s graphic character and gives it a strong visual presence. Its angular exterior is softened by the smooth internal curve, producing a dynamic form that changes according to the viewing angle. Whether displayed with a single flower or left empty, the vase works as a bold sculptural accent on a shelf, console, sideboard or coffee table.
